They haven't taken orders for YEARS. If you click on the Buy, you'll see.

Dang...

The link showed up on a reloading page and looked interesting.

Too bad they are no longer making them.

I had a industrial crafts classmate in the 1970 who made an investment cast silver penny-it looked real good but violate federal laws about counterfit us coins. silver coins were still available then. wouldn't a steady diet silver bullets (.925 fine) be hard on the barrel? Mel

I'm thinking that saving the barrel will be the last thing on your mind when being overrun by lycanthropes

I've been interested in a mini lathe for a couple of years now. Do you know of a good one? Had experience with any particular brand, good or bad?

Not interested in silver bullets, but shortening some copper ones.

I have never used one but I have heard some good things said about Lathsmith for the hobby stuff if you have the money.

Plus you get the mill with it in one package.

Depending on the intended use silver precious metal clay could be used in a mold to produce "silver bullets".

It would take a bit of research to see if any of the silver clays would have the strength/integrity to be fired from a handgun.

Lost wax is the best way to go in my opinion. I really don't think it would be hard. I cast a rose by coating a living rose in dental wax then making a plaster mould. It came out real well.

As for the lathe, I think you are a pretty smart guy and could figure it out in no time at all. If I can do it you can and I am a damned good machinist.
